The Big Brotherhost will replace both Holly Willoughby and Reggie Yates - who presented the first two series of the show.

In a statement release by the BBC, she said: "The Voice is an absolutely brilliant TV show with the unique ability to showcase and nurture amazing raw talent.

"I couldn't be more excited to be a part of it and I cannot wait to get started."

Willis comes fresh from the final of Celebrity Big Brother on Friday night - and her debut year fronting BB and CBB has been a hit with fans and critics.

And Holly hinted in her own statement that she had departed for family reasons.

"After much consideration, I will not be returning for series three of The Voice UK. I've had two wonderful years on the show, and I feel very privileged to have been a part of it," she explained.

"Finding the right balance between my work and family life is my priority and this has contributed to my decision. I look forward to watching the next series from my sofa, and I wish the whole team the best of luck."

And Yates said: "I've had a fantastic time on the last two series of The Voice UK and I wish all the team the best of luck for the new series."
